In the early 19th century, Thomas Reynolds migrated to the Alentejo region to pursue the cork business. Three generations later, his grandson, John Reynolds, acquired Herdade do Mouchão for wine production. In 1901, the property's first vineyards were planted, and in 1929, construction began on a traditional winery and distillery, which still produces Mouchão Brandy today. Today, Herdade do Mouchão continues to be managed and operated by descendants of the original family, and the entire winemaking process remains virtually unchanged, preserving the traditional hand-harvesting and fermentation of the grapes in stone lagares, using foot-treading. It is these techniques, and the entire success story of Herdade do Mouchão, that make this winemaking company so close to the way wines were in the past. 2011 Harvest Type of Red Wine Producer: Herdade do Mouchão Country of Origin: Portugal Region: Alentejo Capacity: 75cl Alcohol Content (%): 15 Serve at 12-18°C
